This was the second year we had a family vacation at the Bay House. Ages 5 to 60+ and everyone had a great time and didn't want to leave. My favorite part is the deck, and this year the front and side decks were rebuilt giving us even more room. More than enough room for Cornhole and lots of places for sitting out and eating out. Of course, the pier is our favorite hangout, for crabbing, fishing, flying kites, watching eagles, reading a book and keeping an eye on the kids kayaking. This year we experienced the tides during the full moon. It was surprising how far out the low tide went uncovering large areas of sand. We love the house as well. The open floor plan makes it perfect of all ages to be involved in different activities while still in the same area. The kitchen is well equipped and the dishwasher, washer and dryer make cleanup hassle free. My husband loves the rest and relaxation, though we did get him out for a little antiquing and to eat at 2 local restaurants. This year we didn't have a campfire because it was too windy, but we did the year before and it is just delightful. To keep this review honest, the internet worked for several days and then cut out, but we didn't miss it cause there were better things to do (we didn't bother Alex about it cause we honestly didn't miss it). Also, the bedrooms do not have closets. Last year we brought a shower tension rod and placed it at the top of the stairs, this year we forgot. Alex always replies to calls and emails quickly. We look forward to visiting again.
